Examples of ash use in the UK.
The UKQAA’s membership covers a wide range of businesses, from ash producers and hauliers.
As a result, they have experience of using coal ash in a range of ways. Its part of our role to collect and share case study examples of coal ash in use in the UK, and you can access our latest case studies here.
It should be noted that the following case studies are for guidance purpose only and companies should undertake their own risk assessments and seek expert advice for their own specific projects.
